    It's not about the postcount. Just stay around, be patient, and be polite, and you'll be made a full member soon. Until then you'll just have to stick with the Entrance Hall I'm afraid. When you do become a full member, I recommend the tavern (warning: the backroom may cause injury).

    Read the Guild FAQs they do a good job of explaining the Entrance Hall System. I usually takes about a week or two of responsible posting - not related to postcount. The gatekeepers review junior members and make efforts to quickly promote those who don't appear likely to start flame wars or spam or otherwise act irresponsibly.

    Trust me, it may seem harsh now but in a few weeks you'll find that this one aspect of the Org does a lot o making it one of the best websites around.

    Ah I see, I was wondering that myself. Very clever system really, protects other areas from pointless posts from certain people.

    You sure you don`t all connect with webcams and perform some ancient ritual to decide who gets promoted?
    Have to agree it`s a great way of dettering pointless posts that already exist and got to give credit you`re very patient and the info is great!

    Well in my case it was a webcam-broadcasted sacrifice of a goat and an under the table exchange of funds...But Tosa doesn't let the initiation rituals get too arcane or costly.

    Hehe, I believe patience is the key. The only point where you really feel like a stinker is when people who joined weeks after you get promoted and you'te still a junior. In my case I think it' just my lack of posts, but there's still plenty of good discussion to be had in the entrance hall.

    Darnit, I forgot to buy a sacraficial goat at my last visit to the local pagan market, will a one eyed newt do the trick?

    Seriously though, the only thing that annoys me a little is the inability to post in the Monastry, I guess reading the threads in there will have to do

    You'll be there soon enough, and if you want to post something here I'm sure the mods would merge it, or you could create a monastery type thread here.
